I'm selling a pair of Phasure Blaxius^2 Digital interconnects. These are 75Ω BNC-terminated S/PDIF cables. I've used them for the dual BNC interconnection between Chord Hugo M Scaler and TT 2. These are wonderful sounding cables, and I'm only selling because I was struck by the dreaded curse of upgrade-itis! I've had them all of 2 months, so they are almost brand new, with the advantage of being burned in for approx 500 hours. Details: Item: Phasure Blaxius^2 Digital Interlink 75 Ohm (pair) Length: 0.6m Retail price: €589 shipped to the US ($650) Asking: $475 (price dropped) Terms: Payment via PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle Price includes free shipping within continental US International buyers pay actual shipping cost and international PayPal fees

Apple Mac Mini "Core i7" 2.3 Quad-Core (Late 2012) w/16GB of RAM + Uptone Audio MMK DC Fan Controller (Installed by Uptone Audio) Includes Mac OS X El Capitan (Optimized) on a 32GB Toshiba SDHC Card with HQPlayer playback software installed. Mac OS X is configured with bridged networking. It's plug n play with this configuration. The internal 500 GB SSD Drive also includes Windows 10 on a partition that I ran optimized with Process Lasso and Fidelizer - also configured with bridge networking. It's plug n play with this configuration too. This Mac Mini can also run Audio Linux (AL) booted to RAM. I have only booted AL to RAM once for testing, but have not listened to it. Alex Crespi of Uptone Audio runs his Mac Mini using Audio Linux in this way and he has stated that he is very pleased with it. Before discovering Audio Linux, I experimented a lot with different operating systems and settled on an optimized version of OS X El Capitan booted from an SD Card, then un-mounting the internal SSD. I used this to run HQPlayer as an NAA and I ran Roon Server on my sonicTransporter. This machine is powerful enough to run Roon alone or HQPlayer in a distributed setup as I did. There are A LOT of different configuration options to choose from using this Mac Mini. It can be configured as a Roon Server, Roon Endpoint, NAA, etc. I bought this Mac Mini from Frys and shipped it to Uptone Audio to install their Mac Mini DC-Conversion/Linear Fan Controller Kit (MMK). Power Supply is not included. I ran mine with my Paul Hynes SR5 linear PSU. Here's what's included: Mac Mini with original box 500 GB Internal SSD 16 GB of OWC RAM Toshiba Exceria Pro 32 GB SDHC Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter CompuLab Display Emulator (fit-Headless) Edimax Wi-Fi USB Adapter I will let it go for $1,200.00 OBO.

I just changed the connection between my Antipodes DX3 server and PS Audio Directstream from USB to Ethernet in order to take advantage of the Bridge II's MQA. So I no longer need two excellent condition premium USB cables: (1) Excellent condition 1.5 meter dual end Audience AU24 SE. The dual ends separate power from data, improving resolution. List is $1050. Selling for $525. Comes in original box with paperwork and sealed tube of DeoxIT de-oxidizer. Great review from the Absolute Sound, which considers this a no-compromise analog sounding cable. https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/audience-au24-se-usb-cable/ 2) Excellent condition 4 foot WyWires Platinum USB. List is $899. selling for $450. Cable personally recommended to me by Ben Zwickel of Mojo Audio as the best USB cable he's heard and what he uses to demo his equipment at shows. Balanced, exciting life-like mid-range and vocals. There aren't a lot of reviews of the WyWires USB cables on the web. (I wouldn't have bought it without Ben's recommendation. After all, he does know a bit about servers and DACs). But found this. http://av2day.com/2013/11/my-experience-with-wywires-part-i/ "Then I connected the WyWires USB cable to the Wyred 4 Sound DAC2 and I regretted it within 20 seconds – it knocked out my reference USB cable (which I had just bought!). Immediately I noticed better separation overall and more details in the bass region. I felt so flabbergasted that I actually did A-B testing with my reference USB cable several times just to make sure my initial impressions were not wrong. In the end, I noted that my reference USB cable could match the WyWires only in midrange neutrality. The WyWires USB cable was clearly better in the bass and treble regions." I used and loved them both.

I have a new, unused DC Y cable for sPS-500 from Ghent Audio , 0.5m with two 2.1mm DC barrel connectors. Asking $60, got it for $80. Will ship free CONUS, buyer pays PayPal fee or do Friends and Family.

For sale - Original Sonore Signature Series Rendu network audio renderer in excellent (9/10) condition. Original owner. If you have a DAC that takes I2S or SPDIF input, then this SSR will provide one of the best input signals among streamers today. Highly recommended by Computer Audiophile, particularly if you own a PS Audio DirectStream DAC. According to computer audio expert Ted Brady on the DS+SSR combo: "It was an audiophiles best dream, and an audio lovers best attempt of heaven on earth, a contender for one of two or three best audio listening sessions of my life." $1500, includes a 4-foot Belden Bonded-Pair HDMI Cable from Blue Jeans Cable. More information from Sonore: Signature Series Rendu Ethernet to SPDIF/i2s renderer We looked at the standard Rendu, already providing fantastic performance in many systems, and thought hard about how it might be improved, how we might lower jitter, and improve on its digital precision. We decided the correct way to go would be to upgrade all facets of the design making incremental improvements which add up to considerable performance gains. The power supply is upgraded both in parts quality and layout. The big addition is the new isolated, clock/re-clock, output board. By specification, the Ethernet input is already isolated from the noise on the network, but there is still some noise produced on the processing board. To generate an absolutely pure clock signal, we added a separate, isolated, output board with a separately regulated power supply. This output board holds the dual Crystek CCHD oscillators, the re-clocking circuitry, and the output drive circuitry for SPDIF and I2S. Because the Signature Series Rendu generates clean clocks and then reclocks on the output board right before the SPDIF and I2S output jitter is lowered even further. Additionally, a very special SPDIF driver circuitry results in a perfectly clean SPDIF waveform which allows one to get the best out of any SPDIF input DAC. While the original Rendu has set the Ethernet to SPDIF and I2S standard up to now, the new Signature Series Rendu takes performance to the next level, this is the best SPDIF and I2S we can make, and we suspect that you will think so as well.

These are a special pair of limited edition Grados that live up to their name. Grado started in 1952/1953 and has been thriving ever since. This year they decided to put out a pair of special edition headphones, and it's the first ever they've built out of a Brooklyn Tree (Maple). Given that this isn't their usual wood, it has some interesting differences from the other Grados, e.g. RS2i, RS1i, HF-1, HF-2, and even the GS1000. I find these to be more controlled but very dynamic in the midrange with improved clarity on the low and high end. I would find these most similar to the RS1i, but I find myself liking these more and more. I have owned a ton of Grados, and I wish I could keep these, but I have too many and I'll probably regret selling these like I did the W3000 ANV when they first came out. Technical Design: Vented diaphragm Wooden air chamber UHPLC copper voice coil wire Specifications: ◦Driver Type: Dynamic ◦Impedance @ 1kHz: 32 ohms ◦Sensitivity: 99.8 dB SPL/V ◦Frequency Response: 13Hz - 29kHz ◦Connector Type: 3.5mm (1/8") ◦Cable Length: 10 ft. (3 m) ◦Cable Style: Straight 'Y' Type Includes: Grado GH1 Headphones, Carton/Box, and Grado Documentation. I will also include a very rugged case made out of eco-friendly ballistic nylon. Non scuffing and has room for accessories ($35 value) If you're a Grado aficionado you'll like these. Reminds me of the run they did for Head-Fi (HF-1 & HF-2).

If you don't know Audio Note, they make some of the most engaging (and mlst expensive) audio equipment in the world. Their entry level DAC, the 0.1x is no exception. This no frills NOS DAC has USB and coax SPDIF inputs. It does does away with modern trends and keeps it simple with a Philips TDA1543 chipset, keeping it to 16/44 processing. No oversampling, no filtering, and is the most musical piece of digital equipment I have ever owned. Audio Note's approach allows you to forget everything you've ever known about digital and get lost in your collection. The body, timbre, soundstage, and simply musical nature of this DAC is not only unheard of at this price, but a very rare occurrence in digital. This DAC is £1400 new, asking £700. Excellent condition in original box, will ship free within Mainland UK. Audio Note's own description below: The first and only digital to analogue converter in the Audio Note (UK) range to offer both coaxial 75 Ohm SPDif and also USB input, selectable via a fascia mounted button. Internally, it is pure Audio Note, featuring a Philips TDA1543 DAC chip, our 1x oversampling Direct from Disc technology and no digital filters. The analogue valve output stage utilizes a 6111WA miniature dual triode, Beyschlag precision resistors and our own Audio Note (UK) Tin Foil capacitors.

Review: https://www.oldnewsound.es/fuentes/dacs/waversa-wdac3/ As challenges that existed two decades ago remain today, electrical engineers specializing in digital sound reproduction face arduous task overcoming these barriers. Digital audio technologies certainly have evolved to meet these challenges. Out of South Korea, a company comprised of four engineers approached analog and digital from an entirely new perspective. Introducing Waversa Systems Incorporated, founded in 2012 by Collin Shin, CEO and lead design engineer. Dr. Shin has been acknowledged for many firsts in the computer electronics industry. With 30 years of developing low noise, jitter canceling chips specific to both medical and military precision critical applications, he recognized these solutions when correctly implemented address these challenges individually, thereby allowing the listener to be enveloped by the music. Waversa DACs have been noted for their delicacy, revealing the fingertip-friction sounds on an instrumental string, or a flat cord on a note, better voice articulation and overall inner detail recreating venue ambiance with such holographic realism the musician can be perceived in the same spot when the listener wanders a room. I remain to find a dac that re-creates this level of timbre with such realism that naturally differentiates the uniqueness of each individual instrument when simultaneously paying the same note. All DAC manufacturers have their own approach to address high frequency noise associated with pulse code modulation. Waversa Systems PCM processing is truly unique in today’s market. Waversa Audio Processor takes a completely unique approach to signal processing by comparing the signal simultaneously from multiple points in virtual space and time and superimposes this information creating a more precise signal reproduction, instead of artificially filling in information and unintentionally creating high-frequency noise that often is perceived as “cold digital sound.” Unlike the traditional digital audio converters, Waversa uses their-own in house proprietary chip set that synchronizes with the neighboring internal processors, greatly reducing jitter. These Waversa Audio Processors (or WAP) consist of two parallel clocks (44.1 kHz / 48 kHz) thus creating mathematically accurate sampling at higher frequencies to 352 kHz / 384 kHz. The DAC3 converts PCM to DSD in real-time when CONV (“Conversion”) is selected. When conversion to DSD is selected, all PCM input samples are converted to 256 DSD via a custom built internal 5.6 MHz up-sampler and FPGA DSD converter. The USB interface is implemented through network player hardware by Waversa Systems and is UAC2 standard compliant. This provides an extremely clean digital audio signal through complete galvanic isolation, which strips the digital signal of any PC noise commonly created by a server’s internal power supply. Firmware updates and music data are also communicated through the single provided USB input. This is accomplished by a special interface, again unique to Waversa Systems. Key Features of the DAC3: The Waversa DAC3 has many special features. Waversa Systems’ digital features include: ⦁ Dual mono ES9018K2M SABRE 32 Reference Audio DAC chip set for D/A conversion ⦁ Dual Waversa Audio Processor (WAP) Chip set ⦁ 44.1, 48kHz implemented as a complete system Unified Clock System composed of independently-specific MEMS Master Clock ⦁ Real-time PCM to DSD 256 conversion using a custom built 5.6 MHz up-sampler and FPGA DSD converter ⦁ DSD to PCM Upsampling (world's first) ⦁ PCM Enhancement: Bypass, 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x ⦁ Custom built, FPGA based, 1.5 MHz up-sampling then conversion to 384 KHz for D/A processing. ⦁ All digital inputs and a customized S/PDIF receiver accommodating rates up to 192 KHz (so long as the source is S/PDIF compliant – see “Operation”) ⦁ A UAC2 standard compliant custom audio interface design, with Cypress FX2/FPGA USB input handling: ⦁ DSD 64, DSD 128 ⦁ PCM 44.1 KHz, 48 KHz, 88.2 KHz, 96 KHz, 176.4 KHz, 192 KHz, 352.8 and 384 KHz. ⦁ Operations via Linux OS with UAC2 and MAC OSX 10.6, with the Thesycon driver incorporated for use in Windows OS environments ⦁ Optional in and out reference word clock connectors for use with an external clock ⦁ Complementary Full Balanced Analogue Circuit ⦁ Discrete / Transformer output mode can be selected ⦁ Output Voltage Control: 100%, 75%, 50% to adjust output gain and refine sound depending on individual system. ⦁ Select equipped with digital inputs and outputs, modular (up to 4) - Ethernet Network Player, Coaxial, AES / EBU, Optical, Word Clock Input, Accessory Clock Module options, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, headphone amplifier, analog input ⦁ Cutting duralumin chassis, and internal block reducing vibration and improving RF and galvanic isolation. ⦁ The digital portion and analog portion are independently powered using dual toroidal transformers, each with duralumin isolation and independent linear circuitry. ⦁ Front LED display (1,800 LED): source, the input sampling rate, menus, artist, song, etc. Will Ship Internationally.

A few small cosmetic faults, including: Slight scratch on top iFi logo (incurred after I took the nice pics! :() See close-up below. Tiny faint scratch marks (barely visible) around USB input on back. Stupidly, I had put a sticky isolation foot on the bottom, on the area where the S/N sticker was located without realizing it, and the S/N sticker partly came off (see close-up photo). Luckily I had taken a scan of the S/N when new, see below. Printout of the S/N scan will be included in the box. iEMatch switch: rubber toggle piece sometimes comes off; just push it back on, or set the switch how you want it and then remove the rubber so you don't lose it.
